Just buy the missus one that's what I did :) ok well it is a ralliart not an EVO but hey it is still fun to drive

My missus wants an Evo X (even though she knows she'll never afford it), but would settle for an SST boxed Ralliart. Just got to train her NOT to put a cannon on it like her VRX lol

We got the twin clutch SST model. It is a great gear box and is lightening fats with the gear changes....

We have had some trouble with it though :(

After 5 visits back to the dealership they are changing the entire gearbox and mechatronics unit...... $16800 :blink:

I am just happy it is under warranty :) :)

That was indeed the shopping car.

Still make mincemeat of any Stagea though, and you would kind of hope so :)

Kinda suss location tho - where people are known for letting off some steam away from the general public (commendable..) It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if it were true - and if its true, why not report it? Its the cases where they blatantly make shit up that really gets my goat...

Still, assuming the report is true, its a shame there was a death over something as trivial as a burnout.... people may say 'fatalities can happen in controlled conditions too' - but this just reinforces the fact that in spite of putting safety first, people still die. Put safety last, the odds of injury are greatly increased....

edit* oh moorehouse road.... no reason to be there at night unless up to no good. but still.... media exaggeration of the truth prevails.

yeah that general area is bad for it. I recently went for a drive out to outer harbour, took a scenic detour on the way back.... well this detour is the fresh road that links up to the submarine corp - no buildings, covered in burnouts - a street light already flattened by someone who lost control and a memorial further down to some girl who died..

cant see how either of those things could happen there.... but obviously it does.

oh and pelican point is nothing like i remember it. used to be completely empty except for the fishermen, trailbike riders, and the smouldering wrecks of dumped stolen cars. but that was 15 years ago...

I work up in that area. Mersey road/veich road/victoria road all have rubber all over the place. ASC folks leave in the arvo and spend it doing amateur drift around the roundabouts in clapped out commodores and statesmans. Matter of fact there was a crash last friday with 2 commodores on veich road as they were leaving, one was a write off. Always seeing bogans doing stupid shit up there. Idiots dont realize that its all being captured on camera...

-D

Edit - the memorial isnt actually for a car fatality - a woman was murdered in the mangroves a couple of months ago

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
